H21 appears hung in self-check after D/L 441c. Rebooted after 15 minute wait. Now trying to re-download.

 

[charper1]

well I watched it all the way. it gets the entire D/L and does its reboot. then hangs at the self-test; going on another 15 mins

 

[charper1]

going to try to red button it with the ethernet cable removed.

 

[charper1]

still no luck. argh

 

[charper1]

Would never come out of self-test. I am now trying to force a D/L of the current national to see if my unit comes back to life.

 

[charper1]

Again no luck. Guess its legs up

 

[charper1]

Well, well, well...... I got this bit of trickery to try and IT WORKED. So I am posting it for the rest of you guys just in case.





Hit the red reset button on the front of the box.

Before the "Welcome, your DirecTV..." comes on the screen hurry up and press MENU and DOWN on the front panel of the receiver simultaneously and HOLD..

KEEP HOLDING both until you see step 1 of 2 as this will bypass the self-test and the receiver should begin working as normal.

Be aware you may have to hold the buttons down for a few minutes.
